Posting this thread in general instead of JFF because I'm not really looking forward to majority of the posters shitposting they're cannibalistic fetishists, and this thread isn't in Serious Debate because I don't really want to delve into the ethics of cannibalism. I just want to ask a simple question: Would you eat human meat? Here's the gist of what it tastes like

Personally I think my approach to this would be just like sky-diving: It's the kind of thing you'd want to do before you kick the bucket for the sake of 'not missing out', but at the same time when the opportunity is right in front of you, you just know you'd chicken out. I didn't have the guts to eat a bowl of fried crickets when it was served in front of me. I don't think I can handle eating meat straight off some person's thigh served on a silver platter.

I would probably try a bite if some weird ass gastro chef gave it a go or something… just out of general curiosity. lmao I wont eat tomatoes, but I've got a pretty good track record when it comes to trying weird proteins.

I might if I was starving to death and only that would save me, and the person was already dead.

Uh… where exactly did this "human" come from? I'd probably only be okay with it if the meat came from someone who very specifically and expressly proclaimed their desire to be consumed (i.e. in their will) before dying a natural death.

I'm a really picky eater so… No.

As long as it won't give you a prion disease.

Depends what department you're with, officer.

I don't eat things for many many reasons if I don't have to. I'm the kind of person who won't eat anything with a bad texture, taste, or even if I just don't like where it comes from if I don't have to eat it. I still have a relatively healthy diet if I opt out of eating olives, octopus, crayfish, crickets, or in this case human flesh, etc. But of course if I had any of these things in an environment where I was going to die I would eat them and from what I've heard when you're experiencing deep physical hunger, not the shallow kind you experience almost daily, I doubt that my brain would even care at that point. But yeah I would never eat human meat just for kicks because it's under that category of where I don't like the source of the food.

Strangely enough, I also have the option of it as skydiving (well, parachuting anyways) I might do it , but only if it is the best of all possible options. Not something I'd want to do otherwise.

I mean, if you are starving to death, and there are relatively fresh dead bodies around, I can't say I'd judge too harshly if you ate them to survive. Of the situation, a few living people and eaten corpses is much better than a few more intact corpses and no living people.

But just going out to try it because you can? I really have a hard time seeing why someone would want to do that.

Maybe, just to see what it's like.

If I were in a situation where I was starving to death and it was a "me or him/her" kind of scenario, then yes I would consume human flesh.

As far as casually consuming human flesh, no.

No. Eating human flesh seems immoral to me.

Only as a last resort.

I honestly prefer if people wouldn't eat me when I'm dead, but I'd completely understand if they did, but PLEASE leave my head alone for a proper burial. I mean, aren't all things reused in nature?

Ever tried human bratwurst?

Maybe if I was some satanic cultist eating the flesh of a mass murder to ingest the essence of evil in a ritual of fire and devil worship

I would do it, why not?

I'd do it, but only if I were near-death/starving and the person died and allowed me to eat them.

Yes if

• There no other meat
• I'm not picky
• I can eat new things
• To survive

In a scenario where I'm lost, half-dead, starving to death, surrounded by a corpse or some corpses who have died, then sure.

Probably not.

I actually heard of a case in 2003 where a dude in Germany met up and they set up to kill one of them, and the other guy ate parts of his body. They actually chopped the dude's dick off while they were still alive and ate it. wut

I can't even stand some fruits and meats……I can't imagine myself eating that

Nah. I'm not that into meat anyways, especially if it's dark or red meats. Birds and other types of white meats that aren't from the ocean is fine with me though.

Truth be told, I actually told some of my friends in college that I'd actually eat human flesh just to find out how it tastes, with the only condition is that it can't be someone that I knew. Needless to say I was later viewed as a psychopath.

Yes. Long as it was safe and well prepared.

{ Needless to say I was later viewed as a psychopath. }

Isn't it interesting how our society considers cannibalism more morally corrupt than ripping the individual limbs off a living fetus in order to terminate a pregnancy?

Food for thought.

Leave it to Lisa to completely take a thread off topic

Oh calm down, it's an observation of cannibalism more than anything else. Cannibalism isn't that big a deal compared to a lot of shit we endorse today, but we act like it's the most vile awful thing ever. It's a good example of our collective questionable morality as a modern society.

Why is killing a human to eat so much worse than killing a human to toss in the trash?

Depends, if it's for survival, I would do it, but I preffer to cook it (Depending of the environment), but if is for cannivalism purposes, Never in my life!!!

Because killing a human for any reason other than self-defense is seen as bad, the more trivial the reason, the worst it's seen. Seeing how unless you are out in the wilderness, you have access to any other food, so to eat a human just because you want to taste human is seen as psychotic.

Also, the main crux of Pro-choice is that an unborn fetus isn't human yet. Not to take this thread off-topic, but just saying.

I think I agree with 0.999…

The person would have had to expressly told me that they wish to be eaten and then died of some kind of natural cause (not suicide or murder) and even then I would be pretty hesitant.

{ Also, the main crux of Pro-choice is that an unborn fetus isn’t human yet. }

What are they then? Are an unborn squirrel and an unborn human the same non-specific fetus? Pretty bad argument to be the main crux of a movement, js.

What if we ate the unwanted fetuses, who aren't humans thus it isn't an issue of killing a human for trivial reasons? Hospitals across the UK were burning them as a fuel source until public outcry put a stop to that, so we're okay with dismembering live babi- sorry, fetuses as long as we don't actually have a real use for them? Isn't that about as trivial as it gets?

Not to take this thread off-topic

And Lisa, if you make a pro-choice v. pro-life thread, I will avoid that like the fucking plague.

I'm not talking about abortion, I'm taking about cannibalism. I'm just using abortion as a comparative issue, but you could replace it with any number of other moral controversies.

I think the moral/ethical pros v cons of eating humans are interesting. We could use an environmental issue if abortion is too off-putting to discuss (but not to practice) and take this in a more soylent green kind of direction, if you want.

Never in a million years. we'd taste like sweet beef so no.

I rather die of starvation than eat another person. I'm not like lisalombs with her "struggle with the rest of the animal kingdom" bullshit.
I'm wouldn't do it, even if they volunteered. No, I'm not gonna cannibalize. I don't care how curious I am, that was someone. No matter how they died, that piece of "meat" was someone. You can argue, lisalombs, that that piece of chicken or beef was something too. Yeah, no. The difference is, one is my own species and the other two are domesticated animals we raised and slaughter to feed the masses of the world. One is a human being and the other are creatures we domesticated thousand or so years ago for food.

One is human, the others are livestock.

Hell, I wouldn't eat most animals. Not just because I'm picky, but because I see it as wrong or even disgusting.

My morals out way my will to live. That might make me weak, but it makes me who I am. And I will never throw away who I am for the sake of survival. I don't care how fucked up the world gets.

If I die for refusing to eat someone/something or for not killing someone/something, then let it be.

girl get that vegetarian soapbox shit out of here, nobody is advocating eating humans

What are they then? Are an unborn squirrel and an unborn human the same non-specific fetus? Pretty bad argument to be the main crux of a movement, js.

They actually are up to a point.

Lisa, go make a discussion thread in Serious Debate if you want to discuss the moral controversies of eating out dat sweet pootang.

You have posted quite possibly the most controversial embryo drawings ever… well… drawn. They're fraudulent, that's not what those species embryos actually look like at the same stage.

They do it with actual images now.

The human is undeniably more developed even at this extremely early stage.

This cannibalism topic already exists, why would I make a separate thread? If you guys don't want to talk about the discussion questions I bring up, don't respond to them. It really is that simple.

>Posting thread with picture of a random grill.
>"Would you fuck it!?"
>Simple yes/no question.
>Lisa barges in and gives it the Harkness test.

Cannibalism isn’t that big a deal compared to a lot of shit we endorse today, but we act like it’s the most vile awful thing ever. It’s a good example of our collective questionable morality as a modern society.

"Would you eat it?" =/= An argument about our collective questionable morality as a modern society.

The choice is yours, I'm no longer going to reply. However plenty of mods are kinda done with your unnecessary derails and snark, so continue at your own risk.

It's a discussion forum not a yes/no poll. Fuck me for expanding the conversation into what I think is interesting relevant territory, you still are not obligated to respond. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I'm not breaking any rules, so any mods who are thinking of taking action simply because they don't like me should think twice if they want to keep that mod status.

No..

so any mods who are thinking of taking action simply because they don’t like me should think twice if they want to keep that mod status.

Threats of any kind are against KYM rules. Take some forced time off to think over your unwarranted sense of self-importance.

Sure, so long as they didn't die specifically to be eaten.

Aside from the brain, I don't see any purely practical reason for why cannibalism is so bad. It's purely a cultural taboo. There's definitely far more efficient food supplies out there, but if your starving to death on the side of a mountain after a plane crash, you won't find a better food supply.

Wow, way to completely misinterpret my stance.

Is this how you win every one of your debates?

Because if it is, I can see why this site loves you. It's like a walking punchline.

Edit: Besides, are you admitting that your posts are unnecessary derails? Because that sounds like a confession.

Don't be bitter because your blatant hypocrisy is on display for everyone to see.
Take responsibility for your actions plz.
What does your stance matter?
Threats of any kind are against the rules on KYM, and I was threatened.

Is the KYM Kourt gonna lock me up for my confession??

It's only hypocritical because you're assuming my stance.

It's a very convenient tactic that inadequate debaters use. I believe they call it the "straw man".

It does no one any good if you pretend my arguments are not what I'm arguing for the sole reason of winning an argument. It also makes you look like a child.

Edit: Where were you threatened? Point it out, if you may be so bold.

Telling lisa you don't want her around only makes her want to stay.
